Sanctuary – Toowoomba

Sanctuary – Toowoomba

Music can evoke a sense of sanctuary, calm and belonging. As millions of people worldwide searched for refuge, Sanctuary was a timely musical event.

Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra performed a beautifully curated program that explored the themes of sanctuary: our universal need for a safe haven in a troubled world.

In a world premiere event, the program featured a concerto by revered pianist and unique composer – and second generation Australian immigrant – Joe Chindamo, commissioned for the wife and husband team of oboist Diana Doherty and cor-anglais player Alexandre Oguey.

The concert also included a world premiere arrangement of Elvis Costello’s haunting war song Favourite Hour by the Brodsky Quartet’s Paul Cassidy.

Sanctuary was presented by Queensland Music Festival, Camerata and QPAC in association with Brisbane City Council. The new work by Joe Chindamo has been generously supported by Andrew and Renata Kaldor.
